Symptoms

Consider one of the following scenarios:

Scenario 1:

You enable Remote Desktop on a computer (computer A) that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

You configure an Outlook 2010 client that is installed on computer A to save Personal Folder (.pst) files on another computer (computer B). Computer B is a file server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2.

You establish a remote connection to computer A from a client computer, and then start Outlook 2010 in the Remote Desktop session.

In this scenario, you receive the following error message that states that the .pst file is corrupted:

Delayed Write FailedWindows was unable to save all the data for the file file path. The data has been lost. This error was returned by the server on which the file exists. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

Additionally, the following event is logged in the System log on computer A:Note This issue does not occur if you disable the Server Message Block version 2 (SMBv2) file sharing protocol on the file server.

Scenario 2:

You have mapped a network drive to a server share and you use offline files to make the data on this share available offline.

You try to open a file (e.g. a text file) of a given size from this share while you're connected to the Network, although the actual SMB Connection to the server is not yet established.

In this Scenario, you might get the this error message:

Cannot open the %% file. Make sure a disk is in the drive you specified

If you click on OK the text file will be empty. If you now close and open the file again it might work.

Cause

Scenario 1:This issue occurs because the Outlook 2010 client tries to write data to an open SMBv2 file ID that has read-only access.

Scenario 2:This issue occurs because the offline files client tries to read the file from the server before the actual SMB connection is established.

Resolution

To resolve the issue, install the hotfix on the computer that Outlook 2010 is installed on (computer A) respectively on the Computer that Encounters the error while opening the file.

Note This update also fixes a regression issue in the Rdbss.sys file after the update 2775511 is installed. Install this update (2732673) after you install update 2775511. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
